Victron Energy SmartShunt Battery Monitor 6.5–70V 500A — Bluetooth & VE.Smart, compact inline shunt

The Victron Energy SmartShunt is a compact all‑in‑one battery monitor that measures voltage, current and state of charge for 6.5–70V systems up to 500A and shares live data wirelessly to your phone and other Victron devices.

Compact, accurate and designed for boats, RVs, solar setups and off‑grid systems, the SmartShunt replaces bulky panel meters with a simple inline shunt that delivers detailed battery diagnostics through the VictronConnect app. It combines precision shunt measurement with Bluetooth and VE.Smart networking to provide on‑demand insights, alarms and integrations that help you manage charging and energy use without complex wiring.

How will this monitor show my battery’s condition?

The SmartShunt continuously measures voltage and current across the shunt and uses those readings to calculate capacity, time remaining and historical statistics. You get a clear state of charge percentage, amp‑hours used and real‑time current direction in the app.

• Displays state of charge, time remaining and amp‑hours in VictronConnect.
• Records deepest discharge, highest/lowest voltages and cycle count.
• Instant alarm notifications for critical battery events via Bluetooth.

What connections and integrations does it support?

The SmartShunt offers Bluetooth for phone monitoring and VE.Smart networking to share live battery data with other Victron components. An AUX port adds flexibility for a second monitor, midpoint measurement or an optional temperature sensor.

• Bluetooth to view data on your smartphone without extra hardware.
• VE.Smart networking for wireless sharing with Victron chargers and inverters.
• AUX cable port for secondary monitoring or external temperature sensor.

How accurate and reliable are the measurements?

Using precision shunt technology, the unit provides high‑accuracy current and amp‑hour calculations, suitable for fine‑grained energy accounting and charging optimization. It logs historic values so trends and anomalies are visible over time.

• Precision shunt measurement for exact amp and amp‑hour tracking.
• Records and stores cycle count and voltage extremes for troubleshooting.
• Works reliably across the 6.5–70V range up to 500A continuous current.

How simple is installation and setup?

The SmartShunt replaces a section of negative battery conductor with the supplied shunt and connects a few communication wires if needed. Setup is handled inside VictronConnect where you configure battery capacity, charging parameters and alarms—no panel cutouts required.

• Inline shunt design fits into existing systems for easy retrofit installations.
• Bluetooth pairing and configuration done in the VictronConnect app.
• Optional wired connections for VE.Smart network or a communication hub.

Who is this for: The SmartShunt is aimed at boat owners, vanlifers, RV and tiny‑home builders, solar installers and off‑grid users who want accurate battery bookkeeping and wireless monitoring without installing a large display. It’s also useful for professionals who need reliable state‑of‑charge data to optimize charging behavior when paired with Victron chargers and inverters.
